Famous Quotes About Astrology

With The Radical
Virgo on occasional post status, I’ll be
digging into my files to finish and share a number of articles and goodies from
my Round Tuit folder. Here’s one of them. While I usually do Quotes for the Signs, I
find these Quotes about Astrology to be inspiring, reflecting how many
well-known voices speak out in support of Looking Up for guidance. These quotes are handy reference
points when talking with people who are new to astrology or skeptical about it.
~ Joyce

There shall be signs in
the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. ~Jesus
Christ

Astrology is assured of recognition
from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the
summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity. ~C.G. Jung

A physician without a knowledge of
astrology has no right to call himself a physician ... There is one common
flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy. ~Hippocrates

About astrology and
palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of
possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and
almost everybody has a palm. ~ Kurt
Vonnegut

We are born at a given moment, in a
given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year
and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to
anything more. ~Carl Jung

millionaire, but to become a billionaire you need an astrologer. ~John
Pierpont Morgan

The fellow that
can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with
the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he
can't make anybody believe that he has it. ~Will Rogers, The Autobiography of Will
Rogers

Learning
astrology is like learning any foreign language. You already have the ideas,
concepts, and experiences of your life within you; you are just learning a new
language for what you are already experiencing. ~Barbara Goldsmith, Astrology
Made Easy

Astrology is
like a weather report; it tells you what conditions you're likely to face in
the future. If the weatherman says it's probably going to rain, you bring an
umbrella. If you follow that advice, you won't get wet. ~Lee Goldberg, Mr. Monk and
the Blue Flu

An Astronomer
who denies Astrology, is like a butcher who recognizes the brain but is unaware
of its transmission of waves. ~Ahmed Hulusi, From Friend to Friend

A child is born on that day and at that
hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual
karma. ~Sri Yukteswar

All anyone can see in a birthchart are tendencies that will become facts if he
does not do something to alter them. ~Isabel Hickey

What is a Radical Virgo?

To learn the characteristics of a Radical Virgo, read Joyce Mason’s article, “The Radical Virgo.” In a nutshell, these Virgos are not the old fussbudget stereotype—no Felix Ungers or Adrian Monks here. Radical Virgos have the potential to change the world through their ability to develop and discover their unique pattern, becoming true human beings—not “human doings.” Radical Virgos give service in a whole new way by contributing to their community and world what they were designed to give. When we each do that, we have made heaven on earth. It’s like having all the cogs in the great wheel of creation turning like they were just oiled!

You don't even have to be a Sun Virgo to have the characteristics of a Radical Virgo, though any planets in the V-sign help. You don’t join this club. You recognize that you already belong.

Radical Virgo Vision

This award-winning blog is a place where all signs—not just Virgos—learn how to express the best of their star map and are encouraged to do their best for the evolution of the planet.

With the inception of the mixed media PsychKicks posts, Joyce is focusing her writing on all the tools in her medicine bag, astrology being just one of them. The more we know; the more we grow.The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly--that is what each of us is here for. ~ Oscar Wilde

About "The Radical Virgo"

Joyce Mason has Sun in the last degree of Virgo, three planets in Libra, Taurus Rising and a Capricorn Moon. She's a "PUNC," or a person with a prominence of the outer planets Pluto, Uranus, Neptune--add bridging and healing Chiron. (See her Outerplanetary People series for more on PUNCs.) Joyce is often mistaken for an Aquarius/ Sagittarius blend. Even if you don’t speak astrology, that makes sense on some symbolic level because they both end in “ius.” She believes that I and Us are one in the same—and celebrates the human spirit in which we’re all joined.

First and foremost a writer, Joyce was a consulting astrologer, tarot reader, dreamworker, and flower essence practitioner for 25 years. Her astrological specialties are the sign of Virgo and the centaur planet, Chiron. She writes on these and many other topics. Read her complete bio and astrology articles on her Writer Joyce Mason website.

The name The Radical Virgo comes from an article Joyce wrote in The Mountain Astrologer many years ago. It also evolved into a personal nickname.
